Where to Find Cronos The New Dawn Save File on PC

Following the acclaim of *Silent Hill 2: Remake*, Bloober Team has returned to the survival-horror genre with an exciting original title: *Cronos: The New Dawn*.This game merges various features from multiple survival horror classics and utilizes the advanced capabilities of Unreal Engine 5 to create an immersive experience.

If you need to back up or transfer your local progress data, you’ll want to know where to locate the save files for *Cronos: The New Dawn*.

Cronos: The New Dawn Save File Location

Client	File Location
Steam	C:\Users\[Your Windows Username]\AppData\Local\Cronos\Saved\SaveGames
Epic Games Store	C:\Users\[Your Windows Username]\AppData\Local\Cronos\Saved\SaveGames

Similar to many titles developed with Unreal Engine 5, you will find the *Cronos: The New Dawn* save files under the AppData local folder. Remember, you might need to adjust your Windows settings to reveal hidden folders. For optimal future access, I recommend backing up the entire Cronos folder.

If you are using Steam, an additional folder corresponding to your unique Steam ID will be present within the SaveGames directory. A similar structure likely exists for the Epic Games Store version as well. This directory houses vital player data, encompassing all saved game slots along with various user preferences.

You can quickly navigate to the save file location by using this command in Windows Run or File Explorer:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Cronos\Saved\SaveGames\

Cronos: The New Dawn Save Slots

In terms of gameplay, while you can technically maintain multiple ongoing playthroughs, separate dedicated slots—such as “Slot 1” or “Slot 2” —are not readily accessible via the main menu. The game features both an autosave function and the option for manual saves. Manual saves can be executed whenever you find yourself in a designated safe zone, reminiscent of the mechanics found in *Dead Space*.

To embark on a new game progression, players must reach the inaugural safe area and initiate a manual save. From this point, the autosave function will adopt whatever active manual save is in effect.

For those playing via Steam, *Cronos: The New Dawn* supports Steam Cloud, granting players the ability to access their saved progress across multiple devices as long as they log into their Steam account. The game also features native controller compatibility, achievements, and family sharing functionalities.

It would be beneficial if the developers considered integrating distinct save slots directly within the main menu. This adjustment would help eliminate any potential confusion regarding the active profile.
